Peer Review

We got two people to critique our blog. They had nothing negative to say and thought that it was really good. Our filming journey has been a rollercoaster of creativity. We included collaboration with my groupmates. We had many unexpected challenges. As a team, we navigated the process of bringing our vision to life on screen. We faced the hurdles of many ideas. We worked hard even if we couldn't meet in person. We had unique circumstance of virtual editing over FaceTime. The title sequence and opening shot became focal points of our film, and despite settling on a font, last-minute considerations made us think that we needed to refilm. Choosing her house as a backdrop was a positive choice. It had the bet space we needed and the items tht we needed. Crucial film details made a sense of personal touch but also led to a realization about the nature of the project. Unearthing the requirement to create a true opening sequence, added a layer of frustration but sparked innovative proble...

Filming Blog: The Beginning!

 To be honest, filming was enjoyable and fairly simple. Ludji and I spent the weekend at Mai'Lyia's house so we could shoot. It was easy but challenging at the same time as we were filming. Being videotaped can be uncomfortable at times, but also funny. To get an outstanding video, we had to reshoot a lot of the scenes.

Editing Additions

 We re-edited quite a bit of content for editing. To start with, my initial plan was to modify our sequence. I edited as I promised. Mai'lyia edited the movie on Alight Motion, but we eventually moved to Danvinci Resolve. Using a split screen at the start of the movie was another thing we adjusted. That's the reason Ludji and Mai'lyia were facing each other the way they would if they were face to face. The screen was split to indicate that they were in different locations. The video clips in which they were conversing were also cut. It was clear from the lengthy gaps in between each exchange that they weren't actually speaking on the phone. I realized how long the videos were, so I cut them. The film's title was another item we revised. We used a typeface named "horror," however that font wasn't there on the website we utilized, as I noted in my blog post regarding titles and fonts. Additionally, I had to change the title because there is a s...
